IIE's Generation Study Abroad Voices Video Challenge

Together with The New York Times in Education, IIE invited study abroad alumni to share their experiences through digital storytelling. NDMU students Cristina Barrios-Lopez '17, Merisa Hernandez '16, and Marguerite Linz '16, worked together to create a video showcasing how their service abroad experience in Peru gave them an edge and what impact it had on their lives and the world.

Notre Dame of Maryland University is part of the Institute of International Education’s Generation Study Abroad initiative to help more U.S. students gain international experience through study abroad programs.
